I drag my file system from about year 2001 or so when first OS X become avalaible changing computers but never actually installing from the scratch ironing the disk. However recently I have an issue with FINK, X11 2.4.0, missing 2.4.1, backward X11 (probably 2.3.3) of Snow Leopard missing files etc. Apple field is resembling now old Windows days. It is less and less suitable for a scientific computing if one is trying to keep a pace with the modern. Some program packages are dependent on as much as 100-150 other packages and without fluent machinery it is impossible to keep pace. Is it not a good time to abandon X11 with its several dialects to something more robust and modern. Is there such thing? Should we go back to static distributions? FF
